I’ve added these three recent mostly ink square drawings to my shop, they’re of a clown and some tigers, but I hope the spirit or qualities of them is the main thing. Shares of this post would be most appreciated. 🖼️ #art

Apricot clown ink drawing, loose, expressive, gender non specific, with turquoise

Strolling three legged tiger side on, bright oranges and greens with hearts and blue

Front facing defiant tiger with mostly red seeming background. With interesting pastel additions and spirited chutzpah

Isn’t it just? If you’re anywhere near Hudds in the next week or two I‘d highly recommend it!

I have endless circular arguments about this.

Them: “It’s written a summary.”

Me: “No, it’s written something tuned to look like a summary.”

Them: “But it looks like a summary.”

Me: <sigh>

We’re not used to computers lying to us.

Evidently I disagree, but I can’t be arsed fighting about it.

Punishing paying customers in case thieves take advantage of your cost-cutting is not ok.

Only if they get the design right and don’t create a frustrating bottleneck at the station.

Well, as the thread suggests probably a mistake to get invested!

Ooh, I’ve been meaning to re-read Latro.

Ha! No…or rather yes, but not this time. Outlook has been my bane today.

Microsoft’s commitment to making its software incrementally worse is genuinely impressive.

That's a superb metaphor.

"Things like" is really where this starts to come apart as a policy isn't it?

I wonder which of the 2 obvious ones you mean? Either way, I agree.

Very fair point - no one actually understood the question, because the parameters were so poorly defined. We all made up our own version of what it might be and voted on that.

It's not the maddest thing that's been said in the US recently, but it's up there.

Stephen Hampshire @shampshire.bsky.social · 1d

Half of us will believe any old shit or were too stupid to understand the question. My instinct is that not really paying attention was a big driver of the leave vote.

It’s actually surprisingly fun to play, too! I think it’s a lot better than backgammon, for example.
